Title: heater control
Post by NormanHall on Oct 20^th, 2009, 3:13pm

I have a 2.9 12v, and have just noticed that beside the pollen filter there is a cylindrical unit attached to a rod with a small pipe attached to the base, which has rusted through and totally collapsed, what is this and what does it operate?

From your description, it sounds like the air recirc valve :)

Hi Most definately the Recirc Valve, they are fairly easily sourced and very simple to replace, done mine just a while ago.

Cheers Kenboy

Just to aid the identification have a look at This photo (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/images/blower03.jpg). It is number three in This article (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/fanrepair.htm).

Ive been to my local Ford outlet and he couldn't find the part on his computer, he located a part number 6420780 for unit which looks like mine, can anyone verify that this is correct, alternatively can anyone supply me with a unit?
